Still pretty bummed the spurs got the warriors instead of the blazers so we could watch lma smash his old team but I guess this'll make kawhi bursting out of the locker room with a folding chair during halftime of game 1 all the more satisfying

Oh Kawhi's out too??
Word....word...
Maybe we can trade him to the Cavs for George Hill and every first rounder they're allowed to give us into perpetuity

If you'd told me a year ago I'd have a more positive impression of LMA than Kawhi going into the 2018 playoffs......
If he re-signs it's all forgiven but poo poo...I wonder how Kawhi not being on the Spurs might affect Pop's long term plan sticking around as well. I seem to remember he promised to stick around for all of LMA's tenure but I'm not sure how the team pivots if they've got to make a Kawhi trade.
Kawhi for RoCo, Brett Brown, Saric, and Half of Ben Simmons (Sixer's choice of which half of the season he plays for them) for the next six seasons. Make it happen.

Cavs get swept, LeBron demands trade to Spurs to play for Woke Coach, Lil Bro Murray, Dancing Danny Green, and the Towel Gang. Bye Gilbert.
Kawhi's perfect for Ohio and the high profile cultural jewel known as Cleveland would definitely help him with shoe deals.

Two seasons and we'll throw in Tim Duncan's Punisher knee brace for Embiid. He'll play till he's 40!

if it turns out he was just doing that, doesn't that seriously tarnish his image as a player? people go after Vince and LeBron for moments of supposedly "quitting" on their teams, but this would be on a completely different level of severity and timespan.
oh great that just means lowered trade value anyway

It's gonna be really funny when he just shrugs and re-signs with a blank look on his face like he has no idea anyone ever thought it was in question or that there was an entire industry of speculation based on it.

Never trust basketball stars with no personality. We project on them an identity of quiet humble dutiful basketball robot hero who would never betray us, then they turn out to be just stupid, well handled, or boring, or whatever. Not every awkward introvert is Tim Duncan.

as a spurs fan, kawhi leaving for LA would be worse than durant signing with GSW.

LA is the ultimate enemy of the spurs
I dunno the Lakers thing has been over for me for ages, they've just kinda been objects of pity or mockery for the last x seasons.
and imho it had a final series that was the perfect punctuation on that rivalry:

(especially also as one last chance to make a steve nash/pringles team miserable again! :discourse:)

Plus Timmy matched Kobe's rings and proved he was always the better man with how he went out.
The End.

Gotta be the Warriors for me. It's not that much more recent (in the sense lakers spurs is mostly a 2000s thing anyway) and besides what they did to Kawhi is way worse than .04's memories. A healthy playoff Kawhi would have been a happy Kawhi. :qq:

Wanna see the timeline where Dwight stayed in LA...would've been funny....

This could all be solved, like most things, with an expansion team in buffalo

Omar Asik
Joakim Noah
Jeff Green
Kyle Singler
Denzel Valentine

The "twin towers of buffalo" would usher in a new stage of new york basketball
And once the raptors throw Kyle Lowry into the expansion draft,,, welllll, you got yourself a basketball team (technically speaking)
Pastor MJ could coach.
The buffalo banshees will free all imprisoned players or all those deserving of a second chance. The only man stopping this from happening is the scoundrel Adam silver.
Anyways this post might a totally silly delusional childish fantasy cuz there's no way bron would give up Cavs former second option Jeff green

"Who would you rather do coke with" is a good rule of thumb for truly great coaches
Quin Snyder, Pat Reilly, Nellie, etc

Brad Stevens would be a total buzz killer. I hate to say it but most likely he'd have some sort of very comical slapstick pratfall and knock over the coke tray. Then he'd say something stupid about Len bias and we'd all just roll our eyes.
